At 36 years old, he remains tireless. He is the tennis player with the most Grand Slams in the history of tennis and this season, he has been the one who has won the most ATP titles. Novak Djokovic has been, is and will be, without a doubt, one of the great stars that he will leave in the books of this sport. He surpasses the other two tennis players that make up the Big Three, Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal, the first retired and the second still active, but occupying the worst position in the ranking of his career (no. 662), due to the injury he is experiencing. since last January. Nole continues his ambition, setting a reference for tennis players who follow his path, as is the case of Carlos Alcaraz.

The number two is still far from reaching the achievements that Djokovic accumulates, but without a doubt, the pace he has picked up points ways. This season the Serbian has dominated the ATP circuit, closely pursued by the Spaniard. Novak has won seven titles, compared to Carlitos’ six. Although it is true that among the Serbian’s trophies are three of the four majors (Australia, Roland Garros and US). Alcaraz achieved victory in the fourth in contention (the third in calendar order), at Wimbledon. Djokovic was also the winner of the Cincinnati Masters 1,000, Paris-Bercy, as well as the ATP Adelaide and the ATP Finals, where he certified number one. For his part, Alcaraz emerged victorious from the Masters 1,000 in Indian Wells and Madrid, in addition to the ATP 500 in Barcelona and Queen’s and the ATP 250 in Buenos Aires.

It should be noted that the Serbian has not been present in a large part of tournaments, such as the last Asian tour. In his balance sheet, he has 55 victories and only six defeats, compared to the Spaniard’s 65 victories and twelve defeats. Novak’s good season has been demonstrated in the ATP ranking, in which the Serbian completed 400 weeks as number one last Monday. Alcaraz did not achieve the goal of taking the throne from the king and ending the season on top. Djokovic finished with 11,425 points in total, compared to the Spaniard’s 8,885, a difference that amounts to 2,360 points. This distance can be reduced at the beginning of the season at the Australian Open, where two thousand points will be at stake, which Novak defends and which Carlos can achieve because he was not present in this year’s edition due to injury.

However, the big difference between the two really lies in the economic amounts. Stopping at the 15,936,097 dollars that the Serbian has pocketed this year, Alcaraz finds himself with 5.2 million dollars less, with a total of 10,753,431 dollars. Novak is the tennis player who has earned the most money in the history of tennis, ahead of Nadal ($134,640,719) and Federer ($130,594,339). The 20-year-old is far from that figure, since Carlitos’ total amount amounts to $22,583,074.

The Russian completed the Top-3 this season, with a total of 7,600 points. He has not been far from Djokovic in achieving titles, and much less from Alcaraz, since Medvedev has filled his showcases with five awards, yes, no Grand Slam. The Masters 1,000 in Miami and Rome, the ATP 500 in Dubai and the ATP 250 in Rotterdam and Doha have been the Russian’s achievements this year.

In the table of victories, the Russian would lead it with a total of 66, being also the one who has played the most matches with a total of 84 games, compared to 77 for Carlitos and 61 for Nole. The Russian’s prize money amounts to $9,239,679.
